They would not get their official engineering specs from random posters on BITOG, would they?

That wasn't the context of the initial comment.

That was the counterpoint to my initial post. I get to respond.

Look up the definition of context.

If you have an engine that won't blow hot air in the winter (Honda 1.5T), dump the 0W20 and use a 0W40 or ACEA A3/B3/ 5W30. Dexos2 as well.

Highest viscosity is xw-30 in the 1.5t according to the Eu manual

Probably not. But, beyond that, if it matters to engineers designing engines, it matters to some subset of the purchasers of those vehicles involved. The way the world works, non-engineers are interested in engineering matters. People are interested in all kinds of "tech" that has little to do with their career.
